lyrics

Within the setting sun I found a man who crowned me the one
To reach you and preach to you what good I could find in this old news
He baptized me in a sea as warm as blood and green as ivy
He told me...
I used to talk to the three of you when I was asleep
We'd go and show them everybody's still around
It really doesn't matter that it was only a dream
Cuz I just felt so stupid and I still feel stupid
And this scene was torn and dead when it was drawn over me
And I can see I'm wasting my time
They say I'm gonna have to leave but it's not up to me
And I can see that they don't mind
And it's not been so long since I felt like dying
Teacher told me we'd never learn or succeed
And I am just the student but I am
The Mystery Boy
Mystery girl, misery fills up the whole of the world
Now, babe, I don't mind - but I'm alone all the time here
Hope everything's all right for you
Sometimes I fight, sometimes I beg
Sometimes I scream into this little dark world of mine
Just when every single thing seems it's falling apart
Still think it's such a fine world to see
But I want to hold truth in my heart again
They say you want to dance but they can't feel me inside
Up, up, up she goes...
Babe, I don't mind this soul-shaking might - it might cease
Come bring me release
But how you gonna live - don't you see?
If you follow me, sweet pea
The sun, the moon and the stars will all fall down
Apparently we're going to reap from our seed
And just some of the fruit of our lies
And it's not been...
It's despicable in any way you view it - I'm sorry for everything
Just everything
Mystery Boy
Mystery girl, misery fills up the whole of the world
Now, babe, I don't mind - but I'm alone all the time here
Hope everything's all right for you
It's the tiny voice of the little bird that sits up on your left
Drives you to be perfect
It's the silent curse that'll keep you nervous
Forcing you to ask if it's really worth it
It's why when you get mad you throw things
And it's why when your heart's sad it still sings
Baby, I don't need much in this lifetime
I just need a little of the shine of your eyes
Teaching me what it means to keep alive
All of these fantasies of mine
